Meinberg do you really think everyone is reading both threads? Plus Lumpen caring and not playing up his Lumpenness is his biggest town tell. There's probably a scum between Meinberg and Puntification from their weird thing earlier, but with Meinberg it's okay because you can just give him 2 or 3 gamedays and then check if there's anything in his post history he couldn't possibly ever believe.

I think this is a case of trying to read too much too early. I don't see anything suspicious about their interaction.

You are aware that Diqnol is lynchproof, right? It's part and parcel of the system.

I was hoping nobody would bring this up so I could weaponize double plurality later.

This sounds like Meinberg is trying to lull us into a false sense of security. diqnol not being lynchproof makes sense because it preserves the 'scum win with a majority' law of mafia and his post indicates he can indeed be lynched.

I'm going to stick with my call on Punt. I really think the "two jokers on AFP" is forced and I don't like that one of those TWO WHACKY GUYS was me, who had called out Punt earlier in the thread. I think Punt might be GETTING NERVOUS that the GREAT CCKEANE IS ON THE CASE.

Rarity what do you think about this?

It was definitely forced but his defense of 'saying poo poo to get things moving' appeals to me because I've done similar things on D1 before. What was it that had you targeting him originally?

Rarity - she's complained previously that people always think she's scum and maybe she's posting less because of this, feels like flying under the radar and might be scum-motivated

Yeah, I'm definitely less active than I used to be. I went through a multi-week long breakup and started a new job a week ago. No longer being unemployed means I have way less time to play mafia. Especially when I'm so tired I normally crash a couple of hours after getting home :(

The main thing that flagged to me in the 50 posts since I last checked the thread is this:

chaoslord posted:

Somber, you always think I'm scum.

This doesn't feel right. Somber always thinks I'm scum. He thinks it so much that he brings it up every single game we play together. Somber does not talk about chaoslord the way he talks about me. I don't think chaoslord has any basis to say that and it's an attempt to deflect suspicion. I'm willing to vote him.

I don't understand your reason for voting Ixt. There's nothing there that jumps out at me as overly scummy. I don't buy chaoslord's defence of himself, especially after he admitted that it wasn't even true that Somber always thinks he's scum. I think Keane and PM are most likely town. I'm suspicious of 50 and I hope he answers my question soon.

He's a player in this game that could, or could not be scum.

My posts are fantastic, they are logical reasonings about why someone elses vote is fallacious.

Additionally they explain why me not posting "content" isn't indicative of alignment.

What more could you want?!

Opinions would be nice.

Also, the reason you gave for not posting content not indicating your alignment was "My lack of personal content is not inherently scummy". Your posts are a whole lot of justifications to explain why you don't need to do anything, you jumped on the Meinberg train with a joke vote and you're generally being obstructive to scum hunting. If you're not scum then you should stop being a twat and actually play some mafia cause right now you're just hurting us.

Fair point. I spent 2 days of Civ 2 in a googledoc with DGK so I got a good look at his approach to scum hunting. The way he's playing here vibes with my general read on him as a player. In other words, meta.

It's between PM and Dorkanoid, then. :siren: If you are voting for anybody other than Pinterest Mom or Dorkanoid, vote one of them instead! :siren:

This is going to sound scummy but I don't care. I don't like how you're dictating lynch targets. Yeah, you're confirmed town and that's great but being town doesn't mean you're right. You're taking away everyone else's agency and ability to scum hunt. If we need an extra vote on dorkanoid to ensure scum can't do a last minute bumrush on you then I'll switch but at the moment I'd rather vote for the person I most think is scum.

Today, we can't afford the luxury. The idiot in the other thread chose double plurality. If I leave the process organic as I'd like to, it's clear I am in danger. Sorry, but its for that reason only I have to do this.

Yeah, I do see where you're coming from in regards to today. That's why I said if it had to be done to ensure you survived then I would. I just thought this was how you were planning on doing things for the whole game.

anime gently caress pillow posted:

The insane aspect of your comment is that I've taken away your agency to scumhunt. You've had plenty of time to do that and to get some frontrunners together but didn't really do so. Scum hunting has been the name of the game the whole time. I had to step in to get this done when it became clear apathy was too great.

I'm not sure if this comment is about me or the thread in general. I feel like I've done my fair share and picked out a few candidates who I think would be a good lynch. And as a thread we did have 50 as a likely frontrunner to join Ixt in getting lynched.

Last I read the thread I think PM had 4-5 posts, mostly joke phase.

I don't see how the posts since then are "genuine"; while I agree with


there are just a few loose opinions, and an Ix vote based on the prompting by AFP, I have no problem with ##vote PM.

I note that the post quoted above had no vote attached, so I don't mind switching back to 22.7kg

I really don't like how when asked to case someone you immediately target the person diqnol's Thunderdomed you with. It reeks of self-preservation.

Self-preservation is fine, though. If you're town and you know you're town, it's better that the other guy get lynched than you, even blindly (0% chance of you being scum, ~25% of them being scum). In a situation where the options get artificially limited, you're going to want to throw the other guy under the bus.

I see where you're coming from but I'd still like dorkaoid to expand his reads to other players.

There's no point in voting for 50 now anyways. I prefer dork to PMom so ##vote dorkanoid. I'm assuming are we need to have 5 townies on each of the top 2 vote. If all the scum are currently voting Ixt then they could still pull off a diqnol lynch with a last minute swing.

I think this battle is basically going to be a feeling-out process for both sides. I know what I can do if I'm sent but without knowing anything about the special skills of our opposition or the rest of our team it's hard to come up with a group strategy. I reckon all either side can really do is just send in a balanced team of people they trust and hope for the best.

I bet if I sent 3 scum only the battle would be lost but the net benefit to be town would be greater. Do I trust myself enough to do this?

From a mathematical standpoint, it's unlikely that we'd take more than one casualty and maybe not even that. In which case, we lose the battle with no benefit of a) killing scum or b) information from flips.
